they give as county clerks. The People v. McCallum..

would not be excluded from performance of his duties as clerk of
the court, because he had neglected to give the additional bond,

balf......

prehensive. The People v. McCallum...

2. The owners of a mill, in their contract for the erection therein of the

machinery, agreed to have their building ready for setting the same
up by a certain day, and the parties furnishing the machinery agreed
to have it up by a day also limited. The owners not being ready
when they were required to be, and thereby greatly delaying the
work of putting the machinery in, were not permitted to show what
their mill would have earned from the time the machinery was to
be in, had it then been ready to run. Holmes v.

Boydston......... 346
